Episode notes
This episode’s guest may have started his career as "the world’s worst commercial fisherman", but Dr Ian Hendy soon found his calling as a conservationist.
As a Tropical Marine Ecologist and Course Leader for Marine Biology here at the University of Portsmouth, he’s leading innovative research into how restoration of ecosystems can help us fight climate change and biodiversity loss, by locking away carbon.
Ian shares insights into how conservation work can go hand in hand with supporting coastal livelihoods. He also tells how ground breaking projects along UK coastlines are offering hope for carbon capture and storage.
